HALIFAX, June 6.-The closing arguments
in the Adams and Doughty cases were made
before Chief Justice Mcdonald today. Mr..
Meagher, in concluding his address of six
hours, in which it is generally admitted he
made lucid and trenchant presentation of
the American case, recapitulated and ingen-
iously emphasized his points as follows:
The purchase of bait is admitted but
this was not violation of the treaty in the
spirit of the intention.
The buying of bait and ice under the
clrcum,stances in proof was not preparing
70 nsh" within the treaty or statute and
there was no fishing proved.
,5-It was incumbent on the Grown to show
tnat tne acts in question We're done within
the limit Tor the purpose of fishing within
that limit This the Crown has not done.
4-lf the burden of proof is ON the defence
1t has satisfied it.
5-n section 10 of the Dominion statute,
passed in 1868, has the meaning contended
by the Crown it is invalid because of Canada
not having the power to make a treaty. Ger
fringe upon the rights OF American fisher
men guaranteed by Great Britain under the
treaty.
6-Under the treaty and international law
and subsequent reciprocity the arrangements
OF the Adams and Doughty were lawful.
There is no statute or order in council
prohibiting the purchase of bait supplies at
least none that apply the penalty of forfeit
ure.
Mr. Booden replied for the Crown, and
when he took up the point made by Mr..
Meagher that American vessels could pro-
cure bait under the right to repair damage,
the judge said he need not reply to that.
The court adjourned. A decision is not
likely IN he pivan for Soma fima

game Will be played in Bangor.
James III. Devlin, the Philadelphia pitcher,
who has been secured by Lynn, bids fair to
become terror to the clubs in the New
England League. His first game with the
Lynns was at Manchester Saturday, when
the latter club would have been blanked but
for dropped fly Yesterdays victory over
the Portlands was another feather in his
cap. Devlin was born in Chicago, is % years
of age, about feet 10 inches in height and
weighs $50 pounds. He first pitched in 1886
in Troy, N. Y, going from there to Syracuse
IN the same State. he was then noticed for
his excellent work in the pitchers box, and
the New Yorks signed him and he played
there the rest of the season of 1896. While
with New York he met with an accident
which he thought would disable him as a
pitcher, but regafhing the use of his arm he
signed for the season Of 1887 with Philadel-
phia. Manager Murphy has done well in
securing such player. and the Lynns will
draw well when they visit Portland again.

DoDcINc THE pRoH,slroRY LAW
The Scheme Devised by an Augusta
Dealer.

AUGUSTA, June 6.-The latest move in
this section to dodge the prohibitory law is
making itself manifest in this city. Early
in the spring well known Augusta liquor
seller took tfip to Europe and made ar
rangements while absent to have liquors
shipped to him by an English firm in cases
containing twelve pint bottles. The liquor
is landed at Portland Custom House where
it is bonded and remains until called for by
the owner, in quantities to suit his conyen-
ience. He arrived home last week and re-
ceived his first invoice of twenty cases ON
Saturday, which he at once placed on sale
here, and has alreody disposed of fourteen
packages. The United States law allows
the sale in imported packages which are un-
broken, and there is no remedy for it. He
boldly displayr the packages in his window
which are labelled "whiskey," or whatever
kind of liquor they may contain. He has an
amply supply coming as required. The mat
ter is creating much talk and interest here
where the prohibitory law has been very
strictly enforced Of late.
